Run Both Linux and Win 2K in the same PC at the same time

Hi Expert,
My PC already install with Linux and Win2K, but I only can run one OS at one time.
How to set my PC to be able to run both Linux and Win2K at the same time. So that I can switch to Linux or Win2K as and when I want to use it without the need to restart the PC.
Thank you very much.

It is not possible to run two oporating systems at once without some form of hardware emulation. As far as I know the only product to do this is VMWare (There is another package which only supports Windows 98 IIRC).

This is a age old problem, when OS/2 could run win3.11 and then 95 came out. Apart from developers why would you want to run two OS's on the same machine at the same time? If its just the apps you want try Wine or vmware. You can get a lite version of it but then I wouldn't use it for Win2k or NT

paulnz,
i don't know why Omloo want to run two os, but running two os are convien for some folks.
1. if your organiza require you to run NT to connect to their email, and they don't want you to use tradeClient, you can run NT on a virtual machine -- if you absul refuse win apps.
2. you can run two Linux operating system on one machine to develop those application , require a restart to test without risking crashes or system break down, suck as kernel development.
omloo,
I agree with dorward about vmware. it is easy to install, quick and easy. your machine will not suffer if you have a super Duper box.
